Medical Hunor.
From the T'eras lSfftinos.

The celebrated French physician, Rcord, was
one day walking along the Boulevard in Paris
when he met an old gentleman who was very
rich, but who was at the same time noted for
his extreme stinginess. The old man, who was
somewhat of ahypcchondriac, imagined that he
could get some medical advice from Ricord
without paying for it,
Doctor, am feeling very poorly"
Where do you suffer most?'
I'm my stomach, Doctor"
"Ah, that's bad. Please shut your eyes.
That's right. Now put out your tongue, so
can examine it closely"
The invalid did as he was told. After he had
waited patiently for about ten minutes, he
opened his eyes, and found himself surrounded
by crowd who supposed that he was crazy.
Dr. Ricord, in the meantime, had disappeared.

Senator Pugh, of Alabama, in speaking
of the proper running mate for Cleveland
in the race of next year, said a Western
politician should be selected: that the "sol-
der business had played out, South as well
as North" This is a singular statement, in
view of the fact that large majority of
the men elected to high position in the South
first attracted attention as soldiers. The
popularity of the Governor of his own State
as a candidate was based on the fact that
he was Private Seay and good soldier.

the court very much by their wrangling. After
court to enforce order the iudae left his bench,

court room and, throwinga small sack of money

going to have it even if have to bust the bank

New York politician, snid to be promi-

President, if reelected, would sacrifice Hill

How the United States Treasurer Re-
lieved Himself of an ONCE Seeker.

Fron the NorpdM Hour.
Ever since the Hon. James w. Hyatt, of
Norwalk, was appointed Treasurer of the
United States he has had no end of applications
Tor positions in his Department. Quite num-
Der of Norwalk gentlemen have limited to him
that they would be willing to remove TO Wash
iugton but at this writing the station agent
has not reported any great increase in the sale
of tickets for chat city. During his recent visit
To Norwalk, Treasurer Hyatt happened to get
caught alone with one OF the most persistent
Office seekers he had yet run across. The con-
versItion was slowly. but surely getting around
to tho subject nearest the applicants heart
when the Treasurer, rather abruptly, turned to
him and said: Mr.. Brown, how would you like
TO 20 into something new where there is plenty
of money!
Mr. Brown could hardly believe his senses
His eyes fairly glistened as he hitched his chair
ness to 90 INTO anything where there was
money, Mr.. Hyatt crossed one leg over the
other, took his glasses from his nose and
twirled them carelessy around the forefinger Of
his right hand, and then he leaned over toward
Mr.. Brown and said in a confidential sort of
way: You come to Washington with me-
and"
Yes, Mr. Hyatt, I'll go anywhere with you. g"
You come 90 Washington with me-" re-
peated Mr.. Hyatt, land I'll let you 20 into the
Treasury vaults where millions OF dollars are
stored
"Oh, ah yes, Mr. Hyatt, good joke; mighty
good joke, Mr.. Hyatt; good night. confound
you, sir, good night!' and the disappointed
onice-seeker was gone
Then MIR. Hyatt turned YEARLY 10 the books
of his horse railway company 20 see how many
bushels OF oats Billy Mullen had fed the horses
since June /.

will exercise his veto power. He had enough

when Miss Cleveland directed his household.

Maurice Thompson IN the american Magazine
The legend set upon our shield
Brims with grand meaning: All in one,
Hearts welded, souls together run
At white heat on the battlefield.
One shining way for all to take,
One oath. one hope, one purpose grand,
One flag for all in all the land,
Upheld by all for Freedoms sake.
One sign set in the central sky,
Read of all men alike, a name
Written in empyrean flame
By the bold hand OF Destiny!
That legend naught could dim or mar;
Though bathed in tears and hid in smoke,
Forth from the local storm it broke,
bow above the cloud of war.
We read at pensively and knew
Some element of precious gain
Had come to it from wounds and pain,
And nightly its meaning grew.
And so we keep upon our shield
The deathless legend: All in one,
Hearts welded, souls together rn
At white heat on the battlefield.
A myriad songs together thrown
Across old griefs of hate, are blent,
Like starlight in the armament,
And round the world in triumph blown
Our starry unity of stars
Gives man n manly masterhood,
Our law of love engrossed in blood
Is sealed with burning bullet-scars

Discrimination in the Convict Camps.
While the Legislature is considering the
convict question, and investigating the
charges of abuses at the convict camps
would it not be advisable to inquire whether
there is discrimination in favor of white
convicts? The charges of bad treatment
come entirely from colored convicts, if we
are not misinformed The inference is that
the white convicts have nothing to complain
of If this inference is correct it would be
interesting to know whether the white con-
victs are being dealt with in accordance
with their sentences. 1t will be remem-
bered that not very long ago
there was a white prisoner in one
of the camps who, it was said,
was permitted to furnish his own meals and
was not required to perform any labor. 1t
was stated in an Augusta paper few DAYS
ago that man who was convicted of muir
der in this county, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life, had escaped. Assum-
ing that the report of his escape is correct,
it would seem is if he had not been very
closely guarded. Perhaps he also was per-
was treated with more consideration than
the convict who is guilty of less heinous
offense, but who is friendlesS
There are several things in connection
with the convict system that need a very
thorough overhauling. The Legislature APP
pears to handle the complaints of abuses in
a kid-glove sort of way, instead of taking
hold of them with the vigor and determine
ton that are necessary to bring about a
radical reform.
Denouncing the lease system and its
abuses in speeches and in the press, may
convince the people that it is a very bad
system. The majority of them, however,
are about convinced of that now What is
is needed is reform. Let the lessees be made
to understand that they are not above the
law. Let them be taught that abuses can
not be practiced in the convict camps with
impunity, and that it is not for them to so
disregard the sentences of the courts as to
make the life in the camps of few a sol t
of picnic and of the many one long torture.

Senator stanford's Secret.

Mr.. Justice Field having decided that
the Pacific Railway Commission has no
power to compel Senator Stanford TO an
swer questions, the work of the commission
is probably finished. 1t has failed TO
accomplish the most important thing that
it was expected to accomplish, viz: to find
out what became of certain large amounts
of money which were received by the
Pacific roads, but which are not accounted
for on their books.
The impression is that the money unac-
counted for was used to corrupt members
of Congress and State Legislatures.
Senator Stanford said that the money
was not used for any improper
purpose, but if it were not, why
does he refuse to answer questions with re-
spect to it? The position which he takes,
that the government has no right to know
what became of the money, is hardly ten
able one. The government has a very large
interest in the Pacific roads, and it has not
been paid promptly what is annually due it
from them 1t would seem, therefore, as if
the government had the right to know what
becomes of all the earnings of the roads
Senator Stanford may succeed in keeping
from the public information which relates
to the disbursement of millions of dollars in
which the government had an interest, but
he cannot remove the impression, caused by
his course, that the reason of his refusal is
that the government has not been fairly
dealt with. He may say that the millions
which are unaccounted for were never i'm
properly used, but as long as
he remains silent with respect
to what he did with the money he
will rest under the suspicion that he and his
associates in the Pacific roads have not
acted honestly with the government. The
truth about what became of the money
may be concealed for a while, but it will
reach the public eventually. If Senator
Stanford were wise he would not hesitate to
tell all he knows about the missing money
at once.
